Marketplace listener Carol Thompson received a birthday present from her husband Ted – a necklace with the etching “Heaven Has In Store What Thou Hast Lost.” It was a comforting message referring to a daughter who had passed away a few years before. The necklace arrived in the mail just days after her husband died unexpectedly, but receiving the necklace gave Carol a sense of peace.
Marketplace is on a mission.
We believe Main Street matters as much as Wall Street, economic news is made relevant and real through human stories, and a touch of humor helps enliven topics you might typically find…well, dull.
Through the signature style that only Marketplace can deliver, we’re on a mission to raise the economic intelligence of the country—but we don’t do it alone. We count on listeners and readers like you to keep this public service free and accessible to all. Will you become a partner in our mission today?
